Through Pitt’s Upward
Bound program, high school students receive guidance on how to improve
their grades and identify career paths, with the ultimate goal of helping them
enroll in and graduate from post-secondary institutions.

Each year, as part of the Western Pennsylvania Writing
Project, Pitt’s School of Education and Creative Writing Program host the Young Writers’ Institute, which fosters
literacy and creativity among participating students.

Pitt’s Health Career Scholars
